Just stay real and stay a real person.

There is a very good chance I could have been a screw-up for the rest of my life.

Just stay real and stay a real person.

Solace is my favorite song. It was the last song we wrote for the record. It was right when we really started to mesh as far as music goes and we started really connecting with each other.

All the bands get along really well. That's one of the biggest things on a tour. It's great to get all these cool bands together, but if they don't get along it sucks.

Florida has been really cool to us. This is our first big club tour, and Pennywise has been really nice.

Even though we're not the most punk rock band, the way we've done things is pretty punk rock. Just kinda say it with a big middle finger to the record labels and do it ourselves.

Music is pretty much the lifestyle, not the music itself. The lifestyle really pulled me off the street. Made me want to do something organized and positive.

It's about putting the pedal to the metal and not asking any questions at all and just going for it.

If someone is not happy with one thing we either tweak it until they're happy with it. We all know where that line is, where you have to be three hands up.

Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future.

You take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing, no one to blame.

Guilt and defensiveness are bricks in a wall against which we all flounder they serve none of our futures.

I hope that through my work, artists will take some chances, break some rules, and make art that comes from inside of them. I would like to be remembered as a kind person, a great Mom, and a bit unruly - in a good way!

'Mad Men' still lives in my life as the best job that I've ever had because I thought the character was genius. It was so well-written.

I've never particularly liked the idea of looking back; I'd rather look forward.

Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.

I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

We see natural gas as an important part of the electricity generation mix for many decades to come.

A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough.

I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.

The two designs are completely different. The first is totally futuristic, the second is more classical. You can of course get very excited about doing something completely out of the ordinary, just like the Olympic stadium in its time. But each to his or her own taste.

The vast majority of politicians think they are functioning on high principle.

Enterprise Systems, I mean. And not just a little bit, either. Orders of magnitude wrong. Billions and billions of dollars worth of wrong. Hang-our-heads-in-shame wrong. It's time to stop the madness.

I will do everything in my power to ensure that our United Nations can live up to its name, and be truly united; so that we can live up to the hopes that so many people around the world place in this institution, which is unique in the annals of human history.

To stay on the map you've got to keep showing up.

I grew up in Brooklyn.

Soldiers willingly, sometimes foolishly, risk their own lives to keep their comrades out of enemy hands.

I don't have to make my own bed.

Beyonce is very special. I think the super-pop thing that supposedly died with Michael Jackson is still there with her.

Good girls are just bad girls that never got caught.

I actually bought the argument that if we democratized Iraq, we could create a space for venting some of the stuff that's going on in the Middle East in these autocratic regimes that is expressing itself through jihadism, because it has nowhere else to express itself.

I would have liked to do more big movies. And the reason I say that is not because I want to be a star, but what I would have liked to have done is reached a different audience with my work.

I play sports.
